Update

Back Again?!

Well have a little bit of time on my hands so thought I would just update a bit on the blog. It has been really hard recently to get any time to do it, but now work have given me a laptop, I should be able to update a little bit more.

Well Zurich was not as nice as I expected, people are OK, it's just the city is very bleak and industrialised, not anything like the Switzleland you see in the "Sound of Music"! Mind you I was only there overnight so I suppose I didn't get a chance to see much. It is however bloody expensive!

I am off to my mums for the night on Wednesday, as I have some work in Plymouth, which is around 1/2 an hour from her, well it is the way I drive anyway!

Tried Will's quiz, but don't think I did too well, I know some of them but others????
I am back down in my mums area in February (15th - 18th) as we are off on a free holiday, so that should be OK. The same week I have got an overnighter in Manchester, so hopefully I will be able to put together some sort of quiz for then, may be even a special Valentine one?!

Right am off now if you have some time try Will's quiz at Hilarity Ensues, its tough but good!

Cheers for now

Christmas Quiz Answers

Many thanks to Will and Mum for having an attempt at the quiz, and apologies for not updating sooner.
Hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas and very merry New Year. I was up until 04:45 playing bowling on the Wii, and my mate was none too happy when I just missed his highest ever score!
But I am back now after a hectic week back at work, and hopefully things are going to settle down to a point where I will be writing and posting as often as i did before.
